Abstract:

A tool kit includes two opposite grips sets respectively provided with two
combining plates connected by connecting rods having tools pivotally
fitted thereon. Each combining plate of one grip set has its edge
disposed with a rail groove having its center cut with a notch and its
opposite inner walls respectively bored with a lengthwise engage slot.
Each combining plate of the other grip set has its connecting edge
secured with a position projecting rail corresponding with the rail
groove, and having its center fixed with connecting projection matching
with the notch of the rail groove and its opposite sides respectively
provided with an engage bar to be inserted in the engage slot. Thus,
mutual engagement of the rail grooves and the position projecting rails
forms a large combination area to increase frictional force and enable
the two grip sets to be stably combined together.

Description:

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0001]1. Field of the Invention

[0002]This invention relates to a tool kit, particularly to one including
two grips respectively provided with two combining plates able to be
quickly and stably combined together to make up a tool kit convenient to
be carried around for use.

[0003]2. Description of the Prior Art

[0004]A conventional tool kit devised by the inventor of this invention
and disclosed in a U.S. Pat. No. 7,146,889, titled "TOOL KIT" is provided
with a first plate grip set and a second plate grip set having their
insides respectively and pivotally assembled with tools respectively
having one end bored with a fitting hole. A connecting member is inserted
through the fitting holes of the tools for pivotally keeping all the
tools of the tool kit between the two plate grip sets. The first plate
grip set has its lengthwise edge bored with a dovetail-shaped rail
groove, while the second plate grip set has its lengthwise edge formed
with a dovetail-shaped projecting rail to be fitted in the rail groove of
the first plate grip set for quickly combining the two plate grip sets
together to make up a tool kit convenient to be carried around for use.
Further, the rail groove of the first plate grip set is fixed thereon
with a projecting ball at a proper location, while the projecting rail of
the second plate grip set is formed with an engage recess at a proper
location to be engaged with the projecting ball for stably combining the
two plate grip sets together. However, after being used for a long period
of time, the projecting ball of the first plate grip set and the engage
recess of the second plate grip set will be worn off and unable to be
firmly engaged with each other, likely to let the two plate grip sets
slip off.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

[0005]This invention is devised to offer a tool kit having two grip sets
respectively disposed with two combining plates able to be quickly and
stably combined together to make up a tool kit that is convenient to be
carried about for use.

[0006]The feature of this invention is that each combining plate of one
grip set has its lengthwise edge provided with a rail groove having its
center cut with an elongate notch and its opposite inner walls
respectively bored with an engage slot, while each combining plate of the
other grip set has its connecting edge lengthwise fixed with a position
projecting rail having its center disposed with an elongate connecting
projection to match with the elongate notch of the rail groove, and its
opposite sides respectively set with an elongate engage bar to be
correspondingly inserted in the engage slot of the rail groove.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

[0013]A first preferred embodiment of a tool kit in the present invention,
as shown in FIGS. 1 and 4, includes a first grip set 1 and a second grip
set 2 opposite to each other and respectively provided with two combining
plates 10 and 20. The two combining plates 10 of the first grip set 1 and
the two combining plates 20 of the second grip 2 are respectively
connected by connecting rods 11 and 21, which respectively have several
tools 3 pivotally fitted thereon. Each combining plate 10 of the first
grip set 1 has its lengthwise edge disposed with a rail groove 12 shaped
like a T and having its center cut with an elongate notch 120 and its
opposite inner walls respectively bored with a lengthwise engage slot
121. Each combining plate 20 of the second grip set 2 has its connecting
edge disposed with a T-shaped position projecting rail 22 to be inserted
in the rail groove 12 of the combining plate 10 of the first grip set 1.
The position projecting rail 22 has its center fixed thereon with an
elongate connecting projection 220 to match with the elongate notch 120
of the rail groove 12 of the combining plate 10, and its opposite sides
respectively provided with an engage bar 221 to be inserted in the engage
slot 121 of the rail groove 12 of the combining plate 10.

[0014]In assembling, as shown in FIGS. 2, 3 and 4, the two combining
plates 10 of the first grip set 1 are respectively combined with the two
combining plates 20 of the second grip set 2 by having the two T-shaped
rail grooves 12 respectively fitted with the two T-shaped projecting
rails 22, able to form a comparatively large combination area to increase
frictional force and enabling the two grip sets 1 and 2 to be stably
combined together not easy to slip off.

[0015]A second preferred embodiment of a tool kit in the present
invention, as shown in FIG. 5, has almost the same structure as that
described in the first preferred embodiment, except that the rail grooves
12 in the connecting edges of the first grip 1 and the position
projecting rails 22 on the connecting edges of the second grip 2 are
respectively shaped as an arrowhead. Each rail groove 12 of the first
grip 1 has its center cut with an elongate notch 120 and its opposite
inner walls respectively bored with a lengthwise engage slot 121, while
each position projecting rail 22 of the second grip 2 has its center
provided with an elongate connecting projection 220 to correspond with
the elongate notch 120 the rail groove 12 and its opposite sides
respectively disposed With an engage bar 221 to be correspondingly
inserted in the engage slot 121 of the rail groove 12. Thus, mutual
engagement of the arrowhead-shaped rail grooves 12 and the position
projecting rails 22 not only forms a comparatively large combination area
to increase frictional force but also enables the two grip sets 1, 2 to
be combined stably never to be disengaged.

[0016]While the preferred embodiments of the invention have been described
above, it will be recognized and understood that various modifications
may be made therein and the appended claims are intended to cover all
such modifications that may fall within the spirit and scope of the
invention.
